Question 1556 Deck Safety
70% to passHow does blood flowing from a cut artery appear?
A
dark red with a steady flow
B
bright red with a steady flow
C
bright red and in spurts
D
dark red and in spurts
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) bright red and in spurts. When an artery is cut, the blood that flows from it appears bright red and comes out in spurts. This is because arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, and the bright red color is a result of the high oxygen content in the blood. The spurting motion is caused by the pressure of the blood being pumped out of the heart. The other answer choices are incorrect because dark red blood indicates deoxygenated blood, and a steady flow would not be characteristic of an arterial bleed.
